Hello - I'm Claire de la Varre, a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist.  I have been in private practice since 2008. I see clients online, and in-person in Stirling and Edinburgh. I have enhanced DBS Disclosure. 

What is 'integrative' hypnotherapy?

Integrative hypnotherapy means that I work with the whole person: mind, body and spirit, and in addition to hypnotherapy I may combine other approaches and techniques in a therapy session. You can learn more about each type of therapy I offer by visiting the Therapies page.

 

I have an office in Stirling (pictured here) and work in Edinburgh on Saturday mornings. I see about 50% of my clients online.

How can I help?

Are your fears getting the better of you? Perhaps you'd like to change an old habit, stop smoking, or lose weight. You might be struggling with unresolved grief, guilt, anxiety, or depression. Or maybe you have already made some positive changes in your life but feel you need more support or motivation to continue. 

 

I work with clients of all ages: individuals, couples, children and teens. I specialise in: adolescents and young people (12-25), unresolved physical or medical symptoms, and clients with dissociative disorders.

What to expect

My aim is to help get you back on your feet and functioning again in as few sessions as possible, with the tools and resources you need to cope with the circumstances of your life. I look at the whole person, and will ask you about your concerns, stress levels, relationships, health and medical history, sleep, and work. I will listen carefully.

 

After the intake interview, each session will be a mix of talk, learning practical skills and coping strategies, and hypnotherapy, using guided imagery and relaxation.

 

Two to eight sessions is a typical range for many of my clients. However, sometimes people need more support and resolution may take longer.

When your child is the client, you are welcome to stay in the room for the session if that's what they would like. For older children and teens, I usually see the parent for a few minutes at the beginning of the session and then work with the child on their own.

I am also a Human Givens therapist. Learn more about the HG approach at my website:
